Chapter 137 Thousand Years of Internal Strength
Misty rain, Yangzhou Wharf.
The largest Yunhe Teahouse nearby is also a frequent gathering place for people from the underworld.
Not far away, soldiers, gangs, and Jianghu wanderers are fighting for property and territory.
There are also gang fights on the wharf.
This is a big reshuffle. The Yunhe Tower in the wind and rain seems extremely calm. There are masters behind the Yunhe Tower, and it is also the territory of separatist forces, so no one dares to make trouble here.
The reason for such chaos is still due to a major news-the destruction of the Yinshan Sect.
As the head of the Demon Sect, almost everyone knows that the Yinshan Sect has an unimaginable impact.
Of course, the Yinshan Sect is not dead, but the top leaders are all wiped out, and the peripheral disciples and forces still exist.
But without the top leaders and the suppression of the Demon King, these people will not unite tightly, but have disagreements and have many conflicts in order to compete for property.
Of course, everyone does not care about the life and death of these people.
They are more concerned about how the incident happened.
"I heard that Xu Zhenjun summoned thousands of ghosts and directly devoured the demon king Zhu Yuan alive!" A rough bald knight swore.
"Nonsense, the fire that night was clearly caused by the insider arranged by Xu Zhenjun in advance and the people he brought with him. There were no gods or ghosts."
"Have you really seen it? It was clearly Xu Xuan Zhenjun who spit out the Three Flavors True Fire and burned Tianluo Valley to the ground."
Everyone was talking about it.
There is a fantasy version, such as summoning heavenly soldiers, heavenly horses, ghosts and gods, and the Three Flavors True Fire.
There is also a political version, such as three thousand swordsmen, breaking cups as a signal, and spies turning against the water...
Of course, the most acceptable version is the martial arts version, that is, Xu Xuan Zhenjun is a great master, with unparalleled martial arts, and he single-handedly challenged the Yinshan Sect.
As for what Xu Xuan's abilities are, no one knows, so they can only combine the abilities of "Mountain Moving Master" Kou Zhen and "Cloud God" Lu Jing, that is Xu Xuan's martial arts.
In any case, after today, the strange title of the Three Realms Dharma Master will be widely spread.
Of course, this is just speculation by the lower-level martial artists.
There are many famous and upright people on the upper three floors of the Cloud Crane Tower, or masters from the Demon Sect Holy Land.
On the upper three floors of the nine-story Cloud Crane Tower, the people here are obviously better dressed and have better temperament. The atmosphere is not as noisy as below. Everyone has a solemn face and is silent.
They were the first to arrive at Tianluo Valley. At that time, the magma had not yet cooled down. Anyone who has seen the scene of the valley full of lava would not underestimate this Xu Xuan. It is really a hellish method.
Even the great master who practices the fire attribute magic may not be able to achieve this scene.
There are monks in the restaurant. The monks are compassionate, put their hands together, and sighed: "From now on, the Demon Sect will be in chaos."
The chaos of the Demon Sect is actually not a good thing for them.
In the past, both sides set up their carriages and horses to fight on the ring, and both sides had obvious goals. Now the Demon Sect is in chaos, everything turns to the dark place, which may lead to more chaos in the world.
Before, we only had to deal with the Yinshan Sect, because other demon sects also had to follow the footsteps of the Yinshan Sect. Now the demon sects have more targets, and there may be more brutal killers, which is not good for the world.
What's more, there is Xu Xuan, who is suspected to be stronger, but his ability is unknown.
A middle-aged man and a man who was wrapped tightly and drank tea with a bamboo hat sat in the corner.
The middle-aged man looked a bit like Xu Xuan in terms of his demeanor and temperament, and in fact, this person was pretended by Xu Xuan.
"Do you think there is such a situation? For example, a master absorbed thousands of years of internal force and then became invincible in the world?" Xu Xuan asked.
Yesterday, Zhu Yuan's power was only three hundred years of internal force, which seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it could not hurt him at all; but if it was a thousand years of internal force, then it could hurt him.
"Absolutely impossible. The endurance of the human meridians is limited. This method of forcibly absorbing internal energy is just a means of mutual destruction."
The capacity of the meridians is almost the same as one's own internal energy. Taking in more internal energy in a short period of time will inevitably expand the meridians. The more internal energy is absorbed, the more the meridians will expand. The damage caused by this method is irreversible, and the duration of the endurance will not be too long.
"It takes more than half an hour to pass on the internal energy of a thousand years. If the person being passed on the internal energy is me, I may not last for a quarter of an hour."
"It seems that I still have to stay away from them." Xu Xuan thought.
If I meet a powerful martial arts master, I will directly destroy them with magic.
Until now, Xu Xuan has not met a master who can withstand the Phoenix True Fire. Zhu Yuan's three hundred years of power probably lasted for ten more breaths.
But still be careful of those who absorb a thousand years of power and self-destruct.
"Is there anyone more powerful in the Demon Cult?"
"Yes, my senior brother Gu Xiao, who is called the Demon Emperor by the people in the martial arts world. He should have the strength of a grandmaster."
"Let's go!"
These skills need to be practiced again when we go back.
In addition to ghosts, there is also a secret method of cultivating skeletons, as well as other secrets of raising ghosts. These require finding a Feng Shui treasure land, especially a Yin land, to practice.
As for the location, Xu Xuan had already thought about it. The next retreat location was in Xianyang. Xianyang had the emperor's mausoleum, and the feng shui was also good. It was not difficult to find a Yin place.
The two left this place and came to the woods outside the city. The dragon-scale horse was waiting in the forest. Xu Xuan led the horse and left with Zhu Yuan.
The news spread quickly.
Chencang.
Lu Jing closed the intelligence of his subordinates and smiled to Kou Zhen on the side: "It is indeed the true lord. He made the devil surrender with one move. We won't watch it. Let's take Chang'an."
"Haha, that's right!"
After the emperor died, the forces left in Chang'an supported a little emperor. They defended the city. Chang'an was high and strong. Without internal support, it would take at least several months to besiege it.
Soon, Lu Jing and Kou Zhen gave an order, and 30,000 elite soldiers set off.
Break all the checkpoints along the way.
Arrived in Chang'an, the gate of Chang'an was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city stood on the city wall and shot arrows.
The Taoist soldiers approached slowly with shields.
The two sides fought from day to night.
Kou Zhen came to the city gate.
"Get up!"
Crack! Crack! His figure rose nine feet high, and his eyes turned golden.
He stepped on the ground with his feet!
Boom!
The ground exploded, the city gate shook, and then cracked.
Kou Zhen hit it hard with his shoulder.
"Bang!"
The debris flew, and the city gate opened.
"My men, follow me to kill!"
Kou Zhen took the lead and entered the city with dozens of elite soldiers.
On the other side, Lu Jingyun used his magical power, like a king in the clouds, stepped on the clouds, flew up the ten-foot-high city wall, and went in and killed people.
There is no military strategy of encircling three sides and missing one, only a dead siege that leaves no way out.
Soon, the gates were broken one after another.
The Taoist elite soldiers had strict military discipline and did not violate anyone. Instead, they took the initiative to maintain order and killed the gangsters who took the opportunity to make trouble.
This move quickly won the hearts of the people.
In addition, each family was strictly confined in the mansion.
Most of the elders of the Beijing family, Hedong family, and Guandong family were in the capital. Their original intention was to cooperate with Tang Ming to go south and hand over Chang'an City intact to Tang Ming.
Unexpectedly, the city was directly breached by violence, and Tang Ming's army was still on the way.
"Those who rape and plunder will be killed!"
"Those who resist the heavenly soldiers will be killed!"
"Those who leave the house without permission will be killed!"
Angry shouts came from outside the door.
In the Cui family's house, a man with a scholar's hat sighed: "The wind and rain will always blow away. I hope the family will see Taoism clearly and not cooperate with demons."
Qinghe Cui family also has his branch in Chang'an. In recent years, they have purchased a lot of land in Guanzhong. According to the style of Taoism, people like him are the most brutally killed and will never be let go.
Unless it is proved that there is no direct or indirect blood debt on hand.
But how can a big family not have dirty things?
Although it can be debunked that it was done by subordinates, Taoism adheres to the theory of the head of the family being responsible. Even if it was done by subordinates, it was the head of the family who failed to cure a family, failed to discover it in time and let it go, which was a crime.
Soon, the servants called the man's wife and children.
"Head of the family!"
Everyone cried together, and there was a pot of poisoned wine on the table.
"Everyone, let's go together."
The whole family went to the underworld together.
Some lived in shame, and some died like this.
Taoism does not easily destroy a clan. A big family may not be of one mind. Sometimes their illegitimate sons and slaves kill the people of the direct line even more cruelly.
Almost all the noble families were detained and awaiting trial.
All members of the underground organization were thrown into prison and awaited their fate. All brothels were closed and all charlatans were imprisoned.
For a time, public security improved a lot, even much better than before.
The Taoist army fought a field battle with the Tang vanguard for three days, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties in the end.
At this point, Guanzhong fell into the hands of Kou Zhen Lu Jing.
"Great Master, the Chen family is under control, and the heads of various families want to see you." The subordinate reported.
"No one will be seen! By the way, how did the Chen family treat the royal family of the previous dynasty?"
"Kill them all."
"Okay, follow this example."
